MedicarePartDPresentation

On September 29, 2022, Dr. Rajul Patel, a Professor of Pharmacy Practice and Director of Patient Care Clinics at the School of Pharmacy presented a hybrid talk on Medicare Part D – How to get the most out of your prescription drug benefit. This is the second year in a row that Dr. Patel has been so generous with his time to present this information to us. The presentation included: a Medicare overview, 2023 Medicare Part D Standard Benefits, considerations when choosing your Medicare Part D plan, and the Inflation Reduction Act – Implications for Part D. The presentation was well received by the 14 Emeriti and 31 additional individuals that attended. [Simalee Smith-Stubblefield]

On Wednesday, December 14th , President Christopher Callahan and First Lady Jean Callahan will be hosting the Emeriti Holiday party. The reception will begin at 4:30 at the President’s home. All members of the Emeriti Association living in the area will be invited. The event was well attended last year, and President Callahan expressed their desire to make this an annual event at their home. Please put December 14th on your calendar right now, and plan to attend and bring your spouse or partner. [Judy Chambers]

University of the Pacific Emeriti Society Newsletter

The Emeriti Society has plans for a new website in the very near future. Board members Bill Topp and Simalee Smith-Stubblefield worked with the Pacific Strategic Communications Office and the Pacific Technology Center to design the site. The goal was to make the site beautiful and filled with topic areas that have relevant information for our members located throughout the country and abroad. The best way to appreciate the website will be to visit it at "pacific.edu/emeritisociety".

Here is a little background information. A visit to the site lands you on a custom-built homepage that has the look of other Pacific webpages, with a distinctive font and bright background colors. This design was chosen so that a visitor to our site would identify the Society as an organization within the University. The entire Emeriti website could have been custom built like other University sites and be under the control of a Pacific webmaster. The problem with that is that any update would need to be documented and a request made to the webmaster. The Board wanted ownership of the website. This way, a team of members would be responsible for the content and its updates. The University proposed a solution that would use SharePoint software designed by Microsoft to create SharePoint webpages. These have a very clean style which features pictures, easily read text, and simple links to navigate among the pages. From the homepage, a link takes you into a SharePoint website which the Society owns.

A visit to the homepage introduces components that describe the different information that is available from the website. Two of the components, the Oral History Project and the Memorial List, are highlighted since they are the Society's contribution to the history of Pacific and its academic traditions. Two other components allow a user to explore the organization of the Society and view its Cabbages & Kings newsletters, particularly the current one. Since website needs to be current, it includes a calendar of events and a "newsroom" containing news releases and accompanying stories. The events and news involve not only Society activities but information on University activities that would have appeal to members. The homepage has a Social Media section with Facebook and Instagram links. The extent of our use of social media is still to be determined. [Bill Topp]

Emeriti Society Website Memorial List project

The Emeriti Society Memorial List project is one of the major components of the website. Remembering each colleague who has passed away is so important. Of the choices for this that could have been made, the Board chose a unique collection of individual profiles that include a photo of each person along with a biographical text. In associating with the list the phrase, “Remembering Those Who Built Pacific’s Academic Tradition,” we hope to convey a feeling of respect and compassion for a group of very special friends and colleagues. Besides Society members, it is hoped the Memorial List will have meaning for alumni who want to remember faculty or administrators who were important in their Pacific experience. The list includes members who have passed away from 2009 to the present, which now numbers over 100 colleagues. From the memorial list webpage, one can access the list by name or by year of passing. For each person, a link opens the descriptive individual profile. Photo and text for each profile was gathered by searches of the internet and researching university news announcements, oral history interviews, school newsletters, old C&K issues and Holt Atherton library archives. In some cases, a son or daughter provided information and a photo.

The Memorial List webpage has a section "Lest We Forget". With the need to build the initial list from historical documents and being aware that members are spread throughout the country and abroad, the Board is aware that some may have been missed. Identifying when someone has passed away is often difficult since a notice may not be sent to the University or the Emeriti Society. Help is needed from all Society members. To keep the collection current, the webpage has a form for submitting information about a colleague who has passed away. The board's Care Team will use the information to build the profile and add the name to the list. [Bill Topp]

Oral History

NINETY (90) ORAL HISTORY INTERVIEWS ON-LINE, BUT WE NEED YOURS !! YES !!

We need your recollections !!! One of the important components of the new and exciting Emeriti Society website is the Oral History Project (see link to the archival collection https://scholarlycommons.pacific.edu/esohc/ ). The website reads, “The Emeriti Society Oral History Project is a collection of conversations and recollections of university members from a variety of academic disciplines with the purpose of helping to preserve the history of the University the Pacific.”

In 1995, the Emeriti Society began sponsoring the project. Over the years, the collection of interviews has been catalogued and stored at the University Special Collections and Archives.” Most of the interviews cover the development of various programs Computer Science created in the Math department, COP; student advisory program in the School of Pharmacy; CIP program for underrepresented local students, etc. etc. Those are the types of conversations that really add to the history of the University. All of us, in our

University of the Pacific Emeriti Society Newsletter

careers, have been involved in the development of university programs, majors, tracks. Please think of sharing those memories by recording, and thus adding to the history of the University. Just contact Doris Meyer, meyerdorisc@gmail.com, point-person of the project, or any of the other Board members to indicate your interest. You choose your own interviewer. There are suggested interview questions. And Nicole Mountjoy, Special Collections librarian, will help explain the whole process to you. Thanks in advance !!! [Doris Meyer]

Treasurer’s Report

As of November 1, 2022, the Emeriti treasury had a balance of $2,139.31. We had 46 attendees at the Welcoming Celebration on September 15, 2022. Of those guests, eleven were invited administrators and five were new Emeriti. We collected $300.00 for registration and $100 in donations. The cost of that event was $1,497.24 resulting in a loss of $1,097.24. We had 43 individuals attend the Fall luncheon on October 27, 2022. The cost of the event was $1,040.20. We collected $820.00 for registration and $50.00 in donations resulting in a loss of $262.16. The registration for our luncheon remained at $20.00, however, we increased the registration of the Welcoming/Wine and Cheese events to $10.00. Even with that increase we continue to lose money on our events as food and labor costs continue to rise. An extremely generous donation of $1,000 from an anonymous donor was received in September that helped us keep a positive balance. Please remember that we happily accept donations of any amount so that we don’t have to increase our registration fees. [Simalee Smith-Stubblefield]

Academic Council Highlights Fall 2022

The Academic Council (AC) has met two times this fall semester, and will meet in November and December to finish the fall semester business.

Shika Gupta, Department of Clinical Oral Healthcare, Dugoni School of Dentistry, is the chair of Council, with chair-elect, John Mayberry, Mathematics Department, College of the Pacific, and past-chair, Paul Subar, Department of Diagnostic Sciences, Dugoni School of Dentistry. The Council continues to have hybrid meetings for in-person and Zoom participants.

At the September meeting, Provost Maria Pallavicini provided several updates on activities over the summer. The Nursing Program started instruction with initial cohorts. There is a Pacific Health Collaborative in Sacramento led by the Dental School. The Regents were reviewing some buildings to rent in Sacramento for many of the health programs there.

For undergraduate education, there is an emphasis on “yield” and “retention”. This fall’s goal for 875 freshmen was not met, with enrollment of 844-850 freshmen. Keeping students from the freshman to sophomore year is key to retention. Also, faculty advisors have a new 52-week retention calendar with items to do each week to communicate with undergraduates. A new “early grades” initiative was implemented this fall term, with grade reports required in the fifth week to warn students who are having difficulties and to offer assistance, as well as feedback to advisors for students doing well.

There is a search committee for a new dean of COP (a person may have been selected recently) and for a new dean for the School of Pharmacy. Scott Jensen, Psychology, is interim dean for COP and Berit Gundersen is interim dean for the School of Pharmacy.

University of the Pacific Emeriti Society Newsletter

At the October meeting, Gene Pearson, a new member of our Emeriti Society board, requested action to appoint a small group to work with him collaboratively on updates and other areas that need to be changed for consistencies throughout the Faculty Handbook. This review of the Handbook is a project Gene had started this fall. Also, action was taken to form a special working group to collaborate with the Registrar and Registrar’s office staff to bring up problems for faculty, assistant and associate deans, and Registrar’s staff and to find beneficial solutions.

At both meetings, Academic Council reviewed some new P and T guidelines, and updates to relatively new guidelines for such new graduate programs as Audiology, Physicians Assistants, Occupational Therapy, and the School of Health Sciences. Council also reviewed new program proposals such as the Doctor of Psychology in Counseling Psychology, a change from the current Doctor of Education program, in Benerd College; an MS in Cyber Security, provided as an online program; and a new MBA program from the Eberhardt School of Business.

In remaining Council meetings this academic year, there is interest in reviewing roles and needs of non-tenure track faculty and their representation within programs and governance at the University, particularly with many in positions such as clinical faculty. [Marilyn Draheim Emeriti Society Representative to Academic Council]

MemberNews....ManyThings

Pejack -- Ed

did a lot of

By automobile. There is a good number of interesting state and regional parks, museums and charming small towns relatively close to us, for 1-to-3 day trips. In the central valley, south of Stockton, are some some authenic agricultural towns, unspoiled by bay area commuters, that have interesting people, buildings, museums (e.g., Hanford, Madera, Tulare, Visalia, Lemore, Atwater). The mother lode has some charming historical small towns and B&B's, like Grass Valley's fantastic Empire Gold mine, open for visitors. More charming spots in this region include Nevada City, Mariposa, Colfax. The east bay provides a number of nice day trips, namely Ardenwood in Fremont, and a real coal mine open for visitors at the East Bay Regional Park System (Pittsburg area). Lastly, around Pt. Reyes is the historic RCA Coast Receiving Station, for the Morse Code system, however only rarely open to the public.

Bob Dash The Dashes are still on the coast of Maine until early December, then back to Stockton. In mid-August son Eric, Jayna, Ian (5) and Sydney (3) arrived with Bob & Maria Luisa for a week of leisure (yea, sure!) with visits to the beach, as well as swimming in front of the cottage in our cove. We will repeat the same next year the same week.

Bob has given up sailing after 70 years on the water in Ohio, California, Vermont and Maine. Sad… but the right thing to do at the right time. No more ocean outings. We have kept a 10-ft. Cat rigged sailing skiff to play with in the cove, and maybe Eric will teach the grandkids to sail as well.

Thanksgiving with generous neighbors in Maine, then Christmas in Seattle and New Years with the Suttons in Redmond, Oregon.

Carpe diem!

traveling... in California!

Bob Benedetti I have continued to collect writing about the Sacramento San Joaquin Delta. This summer I published a collection of these writings: Imagining the Sacramento-San Joaquin River Delta (Fonthill and Arcadia, 2022). Copies are available on Amazon and local bookstores.

Toni di Franco Hello Emeriti UOP people. I am Toni di Franco, wife of deceased professor Roland di Franco. I am enjoying myself visiting with UOP retired faculty and faculty wives here at O’Connor Woods. Also with a wider group of women, several of whom are in their 90’s. I knit scarves with Japanese Noro yarn, which I love. And I belong to a group studying Biblical Archaeology led by Diane Morgali. I take my walks at O’Connor Woods through the coastal redwoods, which make the woods truly special. Best wishes to you all this holiday season!

Bob and Laurel Blaney -- This past year has been challenging due to the Covid pandemic, but also has included celebrations with our family and travel.

We celebrated Bob’s 90th birthday a year ago with the whole family in Yosemite, staying in Wawona and had lunch at the Ahwahnee and a gourmet dinner at a French Restaurant in Oakdale. In May of last year, we traveled to Kauai for 5 days with our daughter Martha, and in October with our granddaughter Elizabeth for 10 days in Maine and New Hampshire. In May of next year, we will travel to Kauai with Martha and her daughter.

We are both in relatively good health. However, Bob has fallen several times. The worst was in July when he injured his left shin and was in the hospital for six days with a UTI and liver problems. He has recuperated very well due to OT and PT at home, and is now having PT twice a week at a facility specializing in balance. His strength has increased exponentially, exercises every day, and he now walks with a cane.

We are still active at Aptos United Methodist Church. Laurel sings in the choir, chairs the Pastoral Care Team, and is a member of the Staff Parish Committee. Bob serves on the Church & Society and COPA Teams. COPA is a group of 27 religious communities, labor unions, and schoolboards, promoting justice in Santa Cruz, San Monterey, and San Benito Counties. We co-facilitate a Sunday book study and Laurel keeps active in two book groups and a knitting group.

We all spent Christmas together. Martha Blaney, our daughter, a graduate of the UOP School of Pharmacy, was recently named a Regent of Loyola Marymount College and is a Medical Project Leader at Abbie Pharmaceutical company, and Jaime is a professor of neurology at Stanford School of Medicine. Isabella, their daughter, is a Senior at Loyola Marymount University majoring in pre-med and ballet. Joy, our daughter, teaches Biology, Anatomy & Physiology, and AP Bio at Westmount High in San Jose and her husband John recently retired from AT&T. Our granddaughter Elizabeth is Executive Aide to the Speaker of the House in Colorado, and David our grandson, is a software engineer with Salesforce in San Francisco.

We are looking forward to another good year living here in Santa Cruz and continue to hope for peace and reconciliation in this coming year.

Douglas and Judy Tedards -- We sold our house of 20 years in Stockton last October and moved to a smaller residence we designed and had built for us on 2.5 acres outside Galt, CA. It was pasture land, with a few native oaks. We have since planted with our own hands and aching backs 18 Maples (4 different varieties), 3 Birches, 2 Pines, a Tulip, and a Magnolia. As the ground softens up from the autumn rains, more planting to come.

An ocean cruise on the Viking Orion was a bust. We will stick to River Cruises in the future. Our beloved Cocker Spaniel Bailey is nearing 15 years old and runs the household on a very tight schedule of bedtimes, meals, and sitting on the porch.

The Retreat Book Group survived Covid and will meet again in January at Asilomar in Pacific Grove, CA. It includes some folks well known to the Pacific community: Fred Gertler, Elizabeth Griego, and Joyce McCallister. This will be our 3rd year as members of the group that reads 10 books a year.

Brian Landsberg My book, Revolution by Law: The Federal Government and the Desegregation of Alabama Schools, was published this summer by the University Press of Kansas. McGeorge held a program on October 13 in which Honorable Kim Mueller, Chief U.S. District Judge for the Eastern District of California interviewed me about the book. The program included announcement of the creation of the Brian and Dorothy Landsberg Racial Justice Scholarship.

Ria and Connor Sutton -- Good to hear from you. Not too much in the way of news on the Sutton front. We still love it here in Central Oregon, and even better with Matt and Jeni so near by. Granddaughter Sammy graduated in June from OSU and is now employed in San Francisco. Right now I do not have a handle on exactly what her job description is but will let you know in the next newsletter.

Connor has been spending a lot of time at the coast lots of fix-its and general maintenance. Right now he is over there getting ready to have some roof maintenance done. He is having some health issues with leg neuropathy, so is not moving as well as normal, and has to be especially careful not to fall. This is especially difficult when one has been so athletic and active.

I do the maintenance here in Redmond. Mowing lawns is one of the jobs which will soon be finished for the season. Connor keeps us well supplied with wood for the stove, and we actually have had a few fires in the last few weeks.

I took a bad fall a few months ago and landed on one knee. I am still dealing with the rehab. The wound is slowly closing, and I can see the light at the end of the tunnel. Saw the MD this morning, and he thinks we will be done by the end of this month. Good way to celebrate a birthday.

Hope all of your readers have a wonderful Thanksgiving. All the best to everyone at UOP. Reuben Smith Reuben (rsmith@pacific.edu) would like to know if there is any interest in bringing back the old Fit and Functional class Cynthia taught 3 times a week at 8 am before Covid. The instructor currently teaches a somewhat similar class for one hour Wed at noon. I don’t know if we can do anything about bringing back the class we had or its timing. But I first need to know what the interest is. You should be willing to make the commitment so I have real numbers to show. Many tnx.

Cathy Peterson – Cathy (School of Health Sciences) and her husband Richard Tucker were part of a team of 11 volunteers to travel to Irapuato, Mexico with Hope Haven West. Over 5 days in October, they customized wheelchairs for 200 people, most of whom were children with cerebral palsy and severe scoliosis. Cathy has done numerous trips with Hope Haven West over the past 15 years (many with Pacific DPT student volunteers), but this was the first she was able to participate in since 2018. She is looking forward to re-offering her seated mobility elective for DPT students so they can participate in future distributions.

Will Price wprice@pacific.edu

I hope most of you realize the significant challenge I am facing as I overcome my “acute stress reaction” after the loss of my wife Kelly earlier this year.

University of the Pacific Emeriti Society Newsletter

The advice I get from many medical practitioners and others is to get beyond this stress and create an anxiety-free new me. I am striving to keep busy and accomplish the many tasks I must address. I know continuing research will likely improve my attitude and condition:

1. Writing a brief history of the Eberhardt School, with a goal to contribute to its strategic future. I am particularly interested in joint/interdisciplinary academic programs, especially between Business and Engineering (See my past presentation to the American Society of Engineering Management on “Matrix Models in the Academy”)

2. I do believe emeriti faculty should be involved in the evolution of the University, as it seeks a model for surviving this critical point in the history of higher education.

3. Given my educational and academic history, I want to address these favorite topics:

a. Rise of Analytics – My Management Science (MS) doctorate should be the discipline designing system models and analytical methods, not to be left to IT professionals!! (See my presentation on “Responsibility for Analytics”)

b. One of my favorite MS topics is Queuing Theory, which I seek to apply widely to much of production and service operations in the public and private sectors. I began with “Seaports in the Global Supply Chain”.

c. Finally, I remain a Water Resource enthusiast from my undergraduate Civil Engineering days at Berkeley and my current role as a San Joaquin County Water Commissioner. So much to study, so many alternatives to evaluate. The “Business of Water” can be another joint adventure with Business/Engineering.

Bob Oprandy – (Benerd School of Education, now Benerd College) has been busier than ever at Delta Sculling Center at Buckley Cove. Having lost their Youth Coach to grad studies in Haifa, he and his wife Pat Tirone, DPT from the Pharmacy School, are now coaching middle and high schoolers in their afterschool program. That’s on top of working two mornings a week with para-rowers, as well as several times a week with Masters (adult) scullers. Pat and Bob, who still sculls competitively, are seeking volunteers to help out with administrative and other kinds of assistance or help at the boathouse, especially on Tuesday and Thursday mornings when they work with para-rowers, including military veterans.

Besides keeping their non-profit sustainable, they have spurred community leaders to work on the development of an aquatic center that would create equitable access to recreational and competitive programs for all sorts of human-powered watercraft on the Delta waterways in Stockton. Another part of the vision is to educate the public and visitors to Stockton about the environmental, historical, and economic impact of the Delta on Stockton and beyond.

Dale Dunmire

May 6, 1946 - September 15, 2022

School of Engineering Computer Science - Electrical Engineering

Dr. Irvin Dale Dunmire died on September 15, 2022. He was a Professor Emeritus at the University of the Pacific in a school now named School of Engineering and Computer Science.

Coming to the University in 1974, he began a distinguished career of service to the University and to the School of Engineering until he retired in 1990. He served as chairman of the Electrical Engineering Department during its formative years of the 70’s, 80’s, and 90’s.

While interested in radios from a young age, it took him several engineering degrees to discover that his real passion was for teaching. When Dale arrived at the University, there were only two departments in the School of Engineering, Civil Engineering and Electrical Engineering. It soon became apparent that the technological field of computers was on the horizon. Students were showing great interest and were clamoring for professional training.

Dale taught the very first class in computer engineering and it was very clear that computer equipment was sorely needed in the labs. Dale worked hard with Regent Ted Baun to find rooms and then provide them with equipment

In addition to his teaching responsibilities, Dale enjoyed his time advising engineering students. Dale was such a cheerful, optimistic professor that colleagues and students alike found it easy to enjoy his company and his advice.

As he wished, he died peacefully at home surrounded by his family. He was preceded in death by his loving wife of 65 years, Carlynn. He is survived by two children and four grandchildren, all of whom miss him dearly.

Memorial gifts in his honor can be directed to: the Department of Electrical Engineering and Computer Science at University of the Pacific; 3601 Pacific Ave.; Stockton, CA 95211

Robert (Bob) Hamernik

Died June 29, 2022 School of Engineering & Computer Science - Civil Engineering

Robert E. Hamernik died at his Stockton home on June 29, 2022 at age 90. He was born in Chicago Illinois to Thomas and Rose Hamernik.

Following high school Bob joined the Navy and later began his college studies. He completed both the Bachelor and Master Degree programs in Civil Engineering at the University of Oklahoma and shortly thereafter in 1962 began teaching at the University of the Pacific School of Engineering.

In 1969, Bob received a National Science Award which enabled him to complete his PhD at Oregon State University, graduating in 1973.

As a teacher, Bob was well respected and beloved by students as evident from alumni responses. He received the University's outstanding teaching award. In the community Bob was well known for his work as a civil engineer. He was honored as Engineer of the Year by the San Joaquin County Engineering Council.

Besides teaching, Bob spent years as a School of Engineering administrator. Most notably were his many years as chair of Civil Engineering. When Dean Heyborne retired, Bob was asked to serve as acting dean. His work was much respected and he was appointed associate dean after retiring from the chairmanship. Upon retirement, Bob was honored as an emeritus professor and was active in the Emeriti Society.

Bob's life was made full by his marriage of 60 years to Erol Jean. He was a proud father of daughter Kathleen S. Trujillo (Mark) and son Gregory J. Hamernik (Kristen Robertson). Erol and Bob had two grandchildren Jean and Michelle Trujillo. Bob had siblings Lorraine Schmid who died in 2006 and Tom who died in 2012.

There will be no visitation and a private committal for the family will be arranged. Memorials can be made to the UOP Department of Civil Engineering or to Hospice of San Joaquin.
